Hi all
Can anyone please help with how I feel after starting this regime, I've waited a year to start this and I'm struggling.
I am postmenopausal and started the regime 3 days ago , I used Utrogestan V .100mg continuously plus 1 pump gel.
I feel awful.Sleepy, spaced out , anxious, headachy, weepy , just weird.

Hello Battyboo. If you have started all 3 of those at the same time then I can understand you feeling this way. It will be a shock for your body and it will need to adjust. Do you feel you are able to wait to see if your symptoms improve?

Hi I was told to give Oestrogel and Utrogestan three months before adding in an anti depressant. My consultant said that if I started all at the same time then I wouldn’t know which was working. The Oestrogel did the trick and I didn’t need the anti depressants . X

Hi thanks for the reply
I've been taking sertraline for 3 years that's not knew , but I'm wondering if it's making me feel so bad.
I need to patient but I can't function normally so not sure whether to stop.

Whats the minimum I can take Utrogestan of the month does anyone know please

Batty, if post menopausal, usually you take 100mg nightly. Peri, it’s 12 days of 200 I think.
Some ladies can’t tolerate utrogestan daily, so choose a cyclical regime instead, even when post menopausal and that’s okay.
Hope you feel better soon x

Thank-you for your reply

Do you feel comfortable to talk to your GP about how you are feeling? It sounds like you could do with their support. As you have been on sertraline for 3 years I would think it is the HRT making you feel this way.
